Hi,
Recently I was trying to increase the space in one of the share drive of Windows Server 2003 Cluster.
By default Disk management console does not allow to directly extend the drive.
After Googling I found the below solution for the same. Hope that it will help you too.
*) Backup the Drive which you want to extend
1) Extend the LUN from storage side.
2) Login to node which is having specified drive ownership and make sure that the free space is visible.
3) Open a command prompt, type diskpart, and then press ENTER.
4) At the DISKPART prompt, type list volume , and then press ENTER to display the existing volumes on the computer.
5) At the DISKPART prompt, type select volume <volume number>, and then press ENTER. Here volume number is the number of the volume that you want to extend. The volume has the unique name that you created in step 6. The volume is listed in the output of the list volume command.
6) At the DISKPART prompt, type extend, and then press ENTER to extend the partition into all of the available disk space to the end of the drive. Or, type extend size=<size> to extends the selected volume by size megabytes (MB).
7) Type exit, and then press ENTER to exit the command prompt.
And if still you are facing issue in extending the LUN then follow below procedure.
Process for Extension :
1) Backup the Drive which you want to extend
2) Extend the disk from SAN Storage
3) Shutdown one node in cluster.
4) Login to another node.
5) Open the Disk Management snap-in, verify that the new free space is added to the end of the proper drive.
6) Open a command prompt, type diskpart, and then press ENTER.
At the DISKPART prompt, type list volume , and then press ENTER to display the existing volumes on the computer.
At the DISKPART prompt, type select volume <volume number>, and then press ENTER. Here volume number is the number of the volume that you want to extend. The volume has the unique name that you created in step 6. The volume is listed in the output of the list volume command.
At the DISKPART prompt, type extend, and then press ENTER to extend the partition into all of the available disk space to the end of the drive. Or, type extend size=<size> to extends the selected volume by size megabytes (MB).
Type exit, and then press ENTER to exit the command prompt.
Hope this helps you.
